Welcome to Wikipedia! In case you haven't already found them, some useful links are Welcome, newcomers, Naming conventions, Manual of Style, and The perfect article. Most questions are answered at Help; if you have a question not answered there, then you can post it to the Village pump.

A word of warning: when comments are posted, the raw text appears without vocal inflections or body language; the lack of these nonverbal cues tends to make the raw text appear to be more terse/rude than the sender actually intended. This is stating the obvious, but people seem to forget it in the heat of the moment. So my word of warning is this: don't be surprised if someone makes comments to you that seem unnecessarily brusque; and try not to take it personally. It is a side-effect of the medium.
